060 - Smartphone Addiction with Haley Evans

Jennifer welcomes author and mother, Haley Evans. After years of
feeling like her phone was pinging her to death, Haley decided
enough was enough and started researching for what would eventually
become a highly successful book. Haley’s book, Hung Up: Why You
Should Put the Phone Down (and Other Life Advice) takes a
fresh look at how smartphone addiction is affecting our children
and our society with candid and personal narrative intended to
inspire change.

In this episode, Haley reflects on the impact the death of her
youngest brother Charlie had on her life and the lives of her
immediate family. She opens up about this seminal moment of her
life with beautiful vulnerability and grace. Haley talks about what
inspired her to write a book about technology, phones, and social
media. Jennifer and Haley discuss the disturbing truth that these
devices influence, and often times dictate, our lives. They talk
about best practices for parenting in a digital world and
boundaries they have set for their children. Finally, Haley
stresses the importance of freeing ourselves from the addiction we
have to our phones.
